I received a Olympus Mju 1 recently and ran a test role.

My scans are showing orange lines to the side as well as circles.

I am very very new to the world of film photography and am thinking maybe it’s a linger leak and I should look at getting the seals checked. That being said, very conscious it could be operator error!

Thanks

  • \$\begingroup\$ Nope - no date stamps on it so can hopefully rule that out \$\endgroup\$

Imho, yes it is a light leak. But it is a bit weird because the sphere is very focused.

But the pattern is somehow repeated. Is this the same leak?

So it is a bit confusing where it is coming from. We could make a better guess seeing the negatives. If the pattern is from consecutive photos or it is across different ones and how it fades across the roll.

I posted some very general examples of different sources of light leaks here: These SLR developed photos are bad. Is it mine or the photolab's fault?

So the pattern across the roll is important to determine the source.
